  1. How do I change the direction of which my desktop arrange in?


    I changed my system language to English Left to right from Hebrew Right to left and it flipped horizontally my whole desktop icons and the taskbar too.now how do I get them to go back to the "Right to Left" orientation without changing my language?I changed to English because in Hebrew the search bar doesn't work well and a lot of features work best with the English system

    Hello,

    Kindly further elaborate your concern, to assist you better.

    In the meantime, you may follow the step below to see if this would address your concern:

    • Right-click on your desktop > Click View.

    Note: If you want to manually arrange your desktop icons uncheck Auto arrange icons
    then drag your icons depending on where you want to place them on your desktop. If you want your icons to be aligned to the grid, check
    Align icons to grid.

  3. [Windows 10] Desktop Icons move unpredictably when manually arranging them.

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why this happens on your desktop is because of an option that needs to be changed before we can arrange our desktop icons manually.

    Kindly follow the steps below for us to check:

    • Right-click on your desktop.
    • Click on View.
    • Uncheck Auto arrange icons and Align icons to grid (If needed).
    • Try rearranging your icons.

    Let us know if you have other questions.

    Hello Ken,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.

    From the above description, I understand you want to know how to arrange desktop shortcuts.

    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:


    • Are you not able to move and arrange the shortcut icons on the desktop?

    • Did you check if the Auto arrange icons option is enabled on your PC?

    Enabling Auto arrange icons option will not let you to manually place the icons in the order of your choice. If you turn off the
    Auto arrange icons option, you will be able to place the icons anywhere on your desktop screen.

    Check if you have enabled Auto arrange icon option on your PC by following the steps below:


    • Right click on the empty space of the desktop and hover the mouse over
      View option.

    • Check if the Auto arrange icons option is checked.

    • If the option is checked, uncheck the
      Auto arrange icons option from the sub window.

    • Close the windows, arrange the icons as per your choice and check if the changes are effective.
